Xia Xiao and the Golden Spirit Beast left the contract space, and the pillars of metal energy outside the black and white town collapsed into metal fragments. If Xia Xiao absorbed the energy in such a solid state, he would definitely be able to improve his strength. But now he was standing in the center of the fragments of metal energy, staring at the fully armed warrior in front of him, and he had no time to escape.

"That's the golden spirit beast?"

While Xiaoran was talking to herself, Xia Xiao reached out his hand towards her.

"Azhu, knife!"

Ah Zhu was startled and quickly dragged up the heavy machete. She was curious about how Xia Xiao could swing it so easily. Little did she know that long ago, when Xia Xiao was not yet a cultivator, he had already possessed extraordinary strength. When Hu Bugui wanted to use his energy to send it over, the machete moved on its own and flew towards Xia Xiao at a high speed.

Grasping the broadsword, Xia Xiaoru felt the familiar feeling of seeing Shu Shuang. He looked down at it and muttered to himself, "It seems that after this battle, we need to have a good talk."

Xia Xiao had never communicated with the Pu Dao. Although it was a spiritual weapon, it was far from being able to communicate. But now it seemed that it must have a certain degree of intelligence and was hiding secrets that he didn't know.

"How about we fight here?"

The warrior looked sideways slightly, shook his head and said no.

"This is a place for nurturing talents, and it should not be tainted by sword energy or murderous aura."

oh?

Xia Xiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"I didn't expect you to be so principled."

"With a great responsibility on your shoulders, how can you go far and walk straight without principles?"

Xia Xiao looked at the Golden Spirit Beast and suddenly felt that it was normal for him to have his own mission. As the ancestor of the Spiritual Contract, the Golden Spirit Beast left behind a sword with divine power. Even if he was not at his peak now, he would definitely be able to exert all his strength if he left him. But unfortunately, he would rather be tired, do more things, and take on the responsibilities of the Golden Spirit Beast than die.

"Where to go then?"

The mountains are the academy's land, so fighting here is impossible, and even worse outside would hurt innocent people. But if we run to a corner like the ice field, it's too far and too unrealistic, and it's hard for Xia Xiao to fully activate the Wood Element in such a place, which is disadvantageous to him. He needs a grassland like this one, so that he can activate the Wood Element and hide the molten lava in it.

"Build your own arena."

The golden spirit beast waved its hand, and the metal fragments in the sky were like a rain of arrows, covering the sky and the sun, and then drilled into the ground. After just a minute, it began to move. The metal fragments became a thick pot, dug a thousand-meter-long pit in the grassland, and took it to the sky, floating under the clouds. Xia Xiao looked at the changes around him with astonishment. It was really fashionable, since it could still be played like this.

All the students at the foot of the mountain who had been attracted by Xia Xiao's movements gathered together. Many seniors on the mountainside also moved a chair and sat in the air to watch this battle which was sure to be wonderful.

Xiao Ran was ready to fly up, but Hu Bugui beside her raised his hand and made them float up. At the same time, a talisman array appeared at the foot of the mountain, and Xia Xiao's face was particularly clear on it.

“This is a nice place.”

Xia Xiao praised sincerely, but the Golden Spirit Beast didn't want to waste time and said coldly:

"Let's get started."

Xia Xiao nodded and raised the machete, but did not swing it quickly. He just placed it gently in front of the golden spirit beast's helmet without making any sound of metal collision.

The golden beast's eyes flickered with dark purple light, as if it didn't understand what he meant, but Xia Xiao said:

"You said you would give me three moves, but I don't need that. I want you to be convinced and submit to me."

"Without the mark in your body, you are nothing!"

The Golden Spirit Beast was also very arrogant, and was considered the same kind of person as Xia Xiao. But in his eyes, the latter was just arrogant and even unreasonable. He didn't need to let him take three moves. In the previous hall, he could have killed Xia Xiao and prevented him from waking up forever.

Xia Xiao couldn't satisfy everyone, but during those years when he couldn't practice, he still endured everything with tenacity. He didn't degenerate or commit suicide. For him, that was a kind of self-affirmation.

If he didn't have the mark, he might not be able to become a cultivator. After all, he was not from this world, but he could definitely survive in any environment. Xia Xiao was good at taking care of everything and everyone like a lowly cockroach, and it was his normal state to make every minute and every second of his life full. Moreover, he couldn't refute himself with the conditions he already had, just like saying that a woman who was so beautiful that she could topple a city and a country was useless without her beauty. Only people with too much jealousy could say such words!

"The second knife."

Xia Xiao ignored the golden spirit beast, let the Pu Dao leave his helmet, and touched it again with cold eyes.

"The third knife."

The Golden Spirit Beast tightened its grip on the sword. Xia Xiao's action undoubtedly hurt his self-esteem. When Xia Xiao retreated, distanced himself from him, and prepared to fight, the Golden Spirit Beast spoke, not hiding his contempt for Xia Xiao.

"The mark and prophecy left by the ancestor of the Spiritual Contract are just a simple trick to make all the evil forces in the world surface and unite their forces. Then, it will be the time for me to cut off everything. How noble and great do you think you are? Or have the world praised you too much, making you forget that you are an outsider? This place has never belonged to you!"

From the moment the Golden Spirit Beast woke up, it lost its good impression of Xia Xiao. He had no intention of saving the world! With this mark in vain, it could only serve as bait, but he had already attracted many evil forces to appear, and that was enough.

He said so much, but Xia Xiao just tilted his head slightly and said:

"You talk too much. If you don't want to fight, go back to sleep!"

The words of the golden spirit beast were indeed somewhat infuriating. Not only did it completely deny Xia Xiao, it also put him in an unkind and even self-righteous position. If Xia Xiao cared about other people's opinions, he would definitely explain it well, but he was too lazy to talk nonsense. This battle was not just about deciding who was better or who was worse. He wanted to make this annoying golden spirit beast completely submit to him and shut his mouth.

The ear-piercing and hurtful magnetic sound disappeared, and the golden spirit beast snorted coldly, and then walked towards the edge of the floating arena like Xia Xiao. They walked in opposite directions, each preparing for battle.

Xia Xiao began to mobilize his vitality. Although he had no time to rest, when the Golden Spirit Beast released its vitality and made a commotion, he and Ju Mang had recovered a lot of vitality in the grassland of the contract space. But in comparison, it was still not enough. To fight the Golden Spirit Beast, he should be in the best condition.

When Xia Xiao and Hu Bugui first considered the Golden Spirit Beast, they planned to have the Fire Warrior and the Talisman Master suppress it, but in the end, they still had to face it alone. Although it was a little difficult, it had always been like this.

"You are not alone."

A slightly charming yet pure female voice appeared beside Xia Xiao's ears. Then, a pill appeared in Xia Xiao's palm. The pill was emitting extraordinary vitality fluctuations and the fragrance of peach blossoms, but Xia Xiao had no expression on his face and said coldly:

"Big sister, he has already said that I am just a bait. I am lowly and I want to die, but he who shoulders a noble mission wants to live. Why are you still helping me in this situation?"

"If you want to hear something inspiring, I can tell you clearly that as a member of the academy, we need you!"

“Everyone wants to hear that.”

"But for you, it's optional, isn't it?"

Xia Xiao smiled slightly, which was considered as agreement. Even without this sentence, he would fight desperately, because he wanted to survive. But with it, Xia Xiao at least knew that he was not alone, and there were people who hoped that he would win. The eldest sister's ideas were often not simple, after all, she had lived for hundreds of years. But Xia Xiao's survival was the biggest win, because then he was there, and the golden spirit beast was there too!

Regardless of his considerations, Xia Xiao swallowed the pill in his hand. Suddenly, a stream of abundant vitality rushed out of his body and floated around with the wind.

The energy from all around entered Xia Xiao's body as he breathed in and out, taking care of every part of his body, even the smallest cells. When it was filled up, Xia Xiao, who was a little tired, suddenly became energetic, and all his injuries were healed. And the three beasts in the contract space gradually recovered to their best condition as he did.

Xia Xiao already had a battle plan. He was 50% sure he could win this battle. This was his best estimate, and that was on the premise that there couldn't be any mistakes!

The clothes casually wrapped around his body were replaced by wood armor, which climbed on the surface of his body, condensing and compressing again and again. Although the wood element is restrained by the metal element, it is the only one that can be used as armor. As for Xiaoyu's ice, it must be kept for other uses, and not a single bit should be wasted.

The vitality in Xia Xiao's body was decreasing, but the vitality in his body was increasing. He walked to the edge of the ring, and his limbs were covered with armor.

The armor was very thick, and although the vitality in it could make it grow and repair after being injured, it was necessary to prevent it from being cut through by a knife. Xia Xiao had finally recovered, and it would be too embarrassing if he was injured by a knife.

Turning around, Xia Xiao saw the golden spirit beast a thousand meters away and began to form seals with his hands. Ju Mang rushed into the sky, Huo Dou stood beside him, and Xiao Yu was still in the sea, but he was also making preparations. It took the longest time to prepare, but the effect was the most amazing, and it even affected the final outcome.

“Let’s get started!”

After Xia Xiao finished speaking, the evil spirits around him barked wildly and rushed out before him. At the same time, thunder roared in the sky, and thunder dragons gathered.

Lifting his foot, Xia Xiao's face turned grim, and he stomped his foot. The ground suddenly broke apart, and the molten lava broke through the ground and began to churn, then rose high, and in the heat and steam, it hit the golden beast like a wave.

Xia Xiao stood on the other side of the waves. He had no habit of wearing a helmet, so his hair fluttered violently, but his eyes were always fixed in the direction of the golden spirit beast, waiting for him to resolve it.

Standing still, the warrior raised his sword high and slashed it lightly. Suddenly, a dark purple light flashed across the dark sky and earth. The light burst out from the sword and suddenly began to whistle.

No matter how hot the molten lava was, it was torn apart by the sword energy. It moved everywhere, only dripping a few drops in front of the golden spirit beast, and the rest rushed past the warrior without hurting him at all. But when they just touched the metal wall at the edge of the ring, Xia Xiao rolled his hands, and the molten lava suddenly closed like a spiral, wrapping the golden spirit beast that was about to rush out.

Even if you have the remaining power of God, as long as you are connected to me, you will be bound by my power and your strength will be almost the same as mine. If this is the case, don't even think about winning easily!

The magma continued to shrink, but a crack was still torn open.
